Many people make noise to be making noise because they got nuthin
better to do. Un-founded noise makers surely make it tough for the
legimate noise makers.
10 years the gasket, or no gasket performed well.
Hank, what is the basis for and why do you figure the repair
facility deserves the abuse, bad publicity, confrontation, "noise"
that you suggest they deserve in this case?

---Hey Jay!
How u doing?....I always seem to open my big mouth and cause trouble.
Honestly did not mean to cause a stir. There are always TWO sides
to every story...I guess I should have spoke about both
sides...eg....."If the original installer is at fault, Ernie should
give him a call....ON THE OTHER HAND....if the original gasket
installer IS NOT at fault, Ernie should just pay the bill and have a
Genesee cream ale"......( I use to hang around Bradford PA and drank
the stuff AFTER DEER hunting).....In summary, I kinda wish I would
have stayed on the beach and caused no trouble........
Thanks for your response. LOL

ps...Ernie...have a lone star...do they still make it in Texas?

Hank,
There's no stir and no problem and you ain't causing no trouble.
I guess we can all agree to be glad we ain't Ernie. ;o)
Now, if Ernie were to send me some pastries and ask for an expert
witness, I'm sure there are 2 sides to every story.... LOL

Maybe no gasket is required if the surfaces are true I wonder if DD
puts one on in production???. Thanks for the stretch bolt tip, makes
sence. I always check the thread socket to see that the bolt will
not bottom out from being too long or having debris in the socket
from scraping the gasket. If the bolt is close I run a nut on it and
grind the bolt down. removing the nut helps clean the thread so the
bolt wont cross when reinstalled.
I think Hank and George bring up a good question, the cause of the
failure? Hank hints to who, George hints to what.
I alway feel sorry for repair shops that get hit by one of those TV
Stings where an Actor comes in with a blown fuse. The shop that
replaces the fuse and slams the hood shut is praised. The shop that
spent two hours looking for a problem that never existed and would
have been found in 15 min if it did exist is marked . IMO the good
shop looked for the 'cause of the failure'. But there are bad shops
Like Hemet Chrysler.
Gregory O'Connor by order staying 200 ft from HC
94PT40
On my coach, the turbo sits on a housing/plate that is indeed held down with
8 bolts. the 8 bolts were loose, and thus over the years have viibrated
looser. There were remains of the original gasket- just bits annd pieces. The
old
gasket material has been removed and the area prepped for the new gasket. I
believe that when the bolts were loose, it allowed the o-rings that the turbo
oil lines intersect to be off their mark and the oil and compressed air to
find the path of least resistance.
Whenever the parts arrive and all is put back in place, we will be on the
road with no thoughts of any lawsuits and grateful that I may not have to wash
my Yukonn and trailer everytime I tow them. Ernie-83pt40, awaiting parts

Hahahahahahahahahaha,
That guy(Everett Sinchou) has a lot of problems, in more ways than
1! ;~}
Our store is not the only place this dude visits!
Hank, I wish I was on the beach in Hawaii, its been raining here for
2 weeks!
Ernie, hope you're back on the road and the repair bill was not too
painful!
